Chapter 5: Oncoming Storm
Sherlock's POV
The hat talked. Boring. The hat sang. Boring. Did I mention I was Bored?
So after the hats stupid little song, the sorting began. A boy named Anderson and a girl named Sally Donovan were put in Gryffindor. That was all I really heard. I wasn't tuned in much until they called my name.
"Holmes, Sherlock!"
I walked quickly and sat on the stool.
"A ready mind, cunning too, and brave. Where to put you?" The hat said in my mind. "Your memories, your parents, I'm sorry for you loss... I will put you in GRYFFINDOR!"
I wasn't expecting that. Really, it was shocking. I expected Ravenclaw. After that Molly Hooper was put in Hufflepuff and Greg Lestrade joined me at the Gryffindor table. Irene Aldler went to Slytherin.
Then McGonagall's voice rang throughout the hall again. "Smith, John!"
John's POV
I balled my fists to stop them from shaking as I walked towards the hat. The headmistress put it on my head.
"Hello, Oncoming Storm, I know your place. Why are you here? Your race... It's gone. Where is your TARDIS? Wait you don't have your memories. You don't know what I am talking about, do you Doctor? You are a GRYFFINDOR!"
I was relieved when the hat called Gryffindor, but i didn't know what the hat meant by the Doctor and the Oncoming storm. That was the man from my nightmares. I sat next to Sherlock. Guessing from the looks Sally Donovan was giving him, he probably deduced her already. Already classified as a freak and his friend.
It wasn't until the food finally appeared that I realized how hungry I was.
